Hi and welcome to my profile! I'm a degenerate dog lover who is perpetually offering to watch my friend's dogs, and can't get enough of them. I had a husky for 16 years who led a very happy life, and I have been dog-sitting for friends and family all my life. I recently fostered a sweet boy named Leonard for a year, and was heart broken to see him leave but found an amazing family for him. While he was in my care, he lost 20lbs of unnecessary weight, learned boundaries and how to walk on leash. 

I have extensive experience caring for animals, and every pet I've owned has lived and loved for way longer than your average pet. 3 cats who lived to 21, 19, and 18, and as I mentioned, my husky was in perfect shape for 16 years until cancer took her. I currently live with a formerly homeless cat. We found each other in a park and she is used to dogs being around. Please be sure your dog is cool with cats.

I work from home, so I will be with your dog for their entire stay. I live in 1000sqft, next to a big dog park, and close to the canal and parks, so adventures and fun are a short walk away. If I visit friends while sitting, your dog comes with me to meet new people and smell new things. Your dog's social life will expand with me and our adventures will be many, with your permission, of course!

Reviews from people who I have sat for, including a golden I've been watching for 10+ years generally sound like this - "My dog is exhausted and legitmitely sad that they've had to come home!" True story. I will love your dog like he/she is my own.

I take your pet's care very serisouly, and my goal is to make your time apart as painless, fun, and worry free as possible. Your instructions will be heard clearly, executed with care, and daily updates will be provided with pics. Does your dog require anything special? Let me know and they'll get it. Though I can't own a dog full time right now, let my free time benefit you and your furry friend by having me treat them as though they were my own, and give you the peace of mind that your best friend is in loving hands.
